Twelve amateur veteran soccer players (average age 40.1 +/- 5.4 years), who began playing in their teens and who were admitted with symptoms most likely to be related to cervical spondylosis, were examined by cervical radiography. Abnormal radiographic findings included: calcification of anterior longitudinal ligament (25%), anterior (75%) and posterior vertebral spurs (75%), ossicle between spinous processes (75%), calcification of nuchal ligament (Barsony) (58%), ossicle on spinous process (25%), and bony spur of Luschka's joints (83%). It was shown in the stress distribution by finite element method analysis that the stress in heading the ball was applied mainly to the lower parts of the cervical spine. The results of this analysis also corresponded well with some of the radiographic findings.
12名业余老年足球运动员（平均年龄40.1±5.4岁），他们从十几岁开始踢球，因最有可能与颈椎病相关的症状入院，接受了颈椎X线检查。X线异常表现包括：前纵韧带钙化（25%）、椎体前缘（75%）和后缘骨质增生（75%）、棘突间骨化（75%）、项韧带（Barsony）钙化（58%）、棘突上骨化（25%）以及钩椎关节骨质增生（83%）。有限元法分析应力分布结果显示，头球时的应力主要作用于颈椎下部。该分析结果也与部分X线表现相符。
